We’re more than just bricks and mortar

We’re committed to working together to create a bright and prosperous future for the 2.3 million people that call West Yorkshire home.

We don’t just build new homes. We also provide support to residents and communities including around safeguarding and domestic abuse, tenancy sustainability and homelessness, and energy and financial advice.

We’re also playing an active role in boosting the local economy with new jobs and implementing a range of measures to tackle the climate emergency, including decarbonising homes, improving housing standards and collaborating with partners across the region on the links between housing, health and homelessness.
